Round 1
Barroso launches a pair of high kicks at his 6-foot-5 opponent,
can’t get them and tries for a double-leg which Oliveira snuffs
out. A hard outside leg kick connects for Barroso before he
backpedals to evade the oncoming “Lula.” Another leg kick chops at
the lead leg of Oliveira, who can’t seem to connect with long
punches aimed at Barroso’s body. Barroso uses a wide left hand to
swipe at Oliveira when the big man tries to get in range to strike.
A frustrated Oliveira motions for the crowd to get loud as he
continues to absorb kicks from the Nova Uniao product. Barrooso
lands more leg kicks down the stretch. Oliveira finally catches up
to Barroso and clinches up just before the round ends.

Round 2
Barroso continues to target the legs of Oliveira as he dances out
of the way of his opponent’s punches. Oliveira catches a kick and
dumps Barroso to the ground, where “Lula” strikes with some heavy
ground-and-pound before Barroso is able to scramble up. Oliveira
holds Barroso on the fence for a moment and shoots an uppercut up
the middle on the release. Barroso wants a takedown now, can’t get
it and pushes Oliveira against the cage. Oliveira reverses and
continues grinding on Barroso with rough knees and punches in close
quarters. Barroso unsuccessfully tries an inside trip before
referee Leon Roberts separates the 205ers. Barroso switches to
punches now and clubs Oliveira with a pair of good right hands and
an uppercut-right hook combo. Oliveira throws a kick and gets taken
down at the base of the fence, where Barroso is able to land half a
dozen good right hands and a knee before Oliveira escapes.

Round 3
Barroso rushes at Oliveira, who tries to go low and winds up
overpowered and on the ground. The light heavyweights roll through,
back to their feet, and Oliveira reverses the clinch against the
cage to sock Barroso with a couple right hands to the gut. Barroso
turns it around and they tumble to the ground, then Barroso cracks
Oliveira with a knee as they stand. Barroso spends another 20
seconds glued to Oliveira’s waist before he’s able to complete a
takedown.

tired counters, neither landing clean. Oliveira wraps up Barroso

with a kick up the middle. The Brazilian gets in and out with a
combination, avoiding a clinch from Clopton. Seconds later, Yahya

to Yahya, who pops up and passes to half-guard on the cage side.

full mount. It’s careful work from Yahya in mount, being sure to
maintain the position as Clopton tries to scoot toward the cage.

dropping punches until the 45-second mark, when he goes to side
control. Yahya finishes the round on top, in half-guard, tapping
Clopton with short right hands.

offense before standing up with 2:45 remaining. A flying knee lands
to the body of Yahya as Clopton jumps inside to tie up on the fence
again. Yahya goes to a knee, eats a couple short right hands from
Clopton and then sits with his back against the fence. Clopton

a good right hook before shooting on another single-leg inside the
last minute. Yahya finishes the takedown and holds Clopton against
the cage until time runs out.

Round 1
McCall gets the better of the striking in the opening half minute,
moving in and out of range to pick at Santos with quick leg kicks.

strike back at Santos with a body-head combination. Santos swipes
him with a right hand on the exit and McCall goes back to
leg-kicking. Another combination gets through for McCall, and this
time he follows up with a left hook that sends Santos wobbling back
into the fence. Santos comes off the cage, tries a takedown and
stuffed to his back. McCall frames up an arm-triangle, lets it go
and stands up to dive back down and bomb on Santos with
ground-and-pound. Santos tries to escape but McCall is all over
him, adding an extra half dozen punches and a step-in knee as they
stand. More leg kicks score for McCall, but Santos slows the attack
with a wide right hand to McCall’s jaw, then another in the final
moments of the round.

him with a knee. McCall ducks under a pair of punches and shoots
low, gets overpowered by Santos and winds up on the ground. Uncle

hand as he backs the American against the fence.

Magny has a left straight-right hook combo go off the arms of
Moraes, who responds with a leg kick. The Brazilian sticks a jab in
Magny’s face, and Magny comes forward with a three-piece combo that
has Moraes retreating. They clinch up and Moraes hits an inside
trip to put Magny on his back. The lanky Magny throws up his legs,
maybe angling for a triangle, but jiu-jitsu specialist Moraes
easily snuffs it out and moves to side control, then full mount
with more than two minutes left in the round. Moraes slaps on a
triangle and rolls to his back, elbowing Magny in the face as the
choke tightens. Magny defends for a moment, but when Moraes hooks
his leg and rolls through smoothly into top position.

shoots for a takedown, defends as Gaff works to hop on her back,
and finally finishes the single-leg at the base of the fence. Gaff

and roughs her up with knees to the body. Nunes gets to full mount,

back up, waits a moment and dives on a double-leg which Lineker
stuffs. Tome connects with a spinning backfist, but the momentum
carries him away from the dazed Lineker, who recovers a little as
he backpedals away from his charging opponent. Tome drops him
again, against the cage this time, and briefly considers a

Round 1
Leites closes the gap and presses Watson against the fence, then
spins to take the back and drag the Brit to the floor. The
Brazilian alternates between hooks-in and pushing off Watson’s
thighs with his feet in an effort to gain more leverage for a
rear-naked choke. Leites pins his opponent’s right arm beneath his
leg and works to slip his right arm underneath Watson’s throat. He
can’t get it, so Leites switches to bashing Watson with hard right
hands until Watson pulls his arm free and gets Leites’ hands under
control. Watson gets to his knees with 90 seconds left, but Leites
is all over him, sinking in his hooks and sitting up to punch from
back-mount. Watson bucks him off, stands with 50 seconds left and
immediately begins throwing hands in Leites’ direction, connecting
with a couple rights against the fence. They come to the center and
Watson closes out the round with a series of leg kicks and one up
top which is partially blocked. A right hand from Watson lands
right at the horn, drawing boos from the partisan crowd.

Round 2
Leites backs up Watson against the cage, flashing a jab in the face
of “Kong” before grabbing a waistlock and pulling Watson to the
floor. Leites moves quickly to full mount, then Watson gives up his
back to avoid an arm-triangle setup. Watson scampers to his feet
only to be ridden back down by Leites, who rolls to his back and
again begins hunting for the RNC. Leites can’t get it, so he comes
over the top and throws up an armbar on Watson’s right arm. Watson
stacks up the Brazilian and tells referee Herb Dean that he’s not
in danger from the submission. With 1:45 remaining, Watson pulls
loose and steps back to get Leites back on his feet. Watson is
throwing a variety of strikes, working knees and punches in the
clinch. They move to the fence and Leites, with his back to the
cage, hits Watson with a knee. They separate and Leites pops Watson
with a couple jabs before being hit with an uppercut. Leites fails
on a takedown attempt and the middleweights trade uppercuts just
before the end of the frame.

Leites gets in behind a left hook and presses a
bloodied Watson against the cage, then changes to a double-leg.
Time is ticking away as Leites just holds Watson in the clinch,
working to trip the Brit to the ground. Watson scores with an elbow
as they split, but as he presses forward to strike, he walks right
into a Leites double-leg. Leites takes the back on the ground and
holds on and as Watson stands up. Dragging Watson back to the
canvas, Leites puts in both hooks and punches away with right
hands.

Ninety seconds left in the bout and Leites frames up an
arm-triangle as he rolls Watson over. Watson clasps his hands to
defend as Leites tries to tighten the choke and hop off to the
side. Leites is still trying to finish the choke when time runs
out, and this one is headed to the judges’ scorecards.

Round 1
Referee Leon Roberts is in charge of tonight’s 205-pound main
event. Davis strikes first, pushing Machida out of the center of
the Octagon with a front kick to the breadbasket. The wrestler
lands a leg kick and gets a harder one in return from Machida. Now
the Brazilian creeps on Davis from the middle, backing Davis toward
the fence before “Mr. Wonderful” circles out to get some distance.
Davis lunges forward with a Superman punch, sidestepped by Machida.
Feints and twitches from Machida can’t get Davis to bite, but
Machida puts a straight left down the pipe a moment later. Machida
switches to the orthodox stance as Davis continues to kick at his
legs and head. Suddenly, Machida rushes forward with a barrage of
straight punches that have Davis in trouble, stumbling backward
agains the cage, where Machida meets him with a knee. Davis hits a
double-leg with less than 60 seconds remaining and leans left to
right in half-guard, trying for a kimura on Machida’s left arm. He
can’t secure it, so the Penn State alum postures up to thump
Machida’s body with punches before the horn.

Round 2
Davis is pawing with punches that are mainly landing in the waiting
hands of Machida. The light heavyweights continue to circle until
Machida whacks Davis upside the head with a left high kick. Davis
circles out and keeps trying to land punches, but he’s still not
coming up with much. Machida blocks a right high kick, gets grazed
with a Superman punch and comes forward with straight punches.
Davis ducks underneath and tries to put the Brazilian on the fence,
but Machida slips out. Just beyond the halfway point in the bout
and Machida lands a low kick, then stuffs a takedown. Davis changes
levels to try another double-leg and is again stood up. Machida
comes straight down with the middle with a hard left straight to
counter a Davis kick. Now it’s the right hand of Machida landing as

ribs.

mostly evading the aggressive “Mr. Wonderful” through the first
minute of the final period. A hard left kick to the body of Davis
sends sweat flying. Davis shoots on Machida’s legs and dives right
into a knee, then has his back taken by the “Dragon” as they stand
back up. Machida releases and tries to kick high, but Davis is out
of range too quickly. A left straight from Machida blasts Davis,
who tries for another takedown and is tossed away again. Ninety
seconds left and Davis throws a slow leg kick outside, countered by
a stiff right hand. Machida stuffs another takedown and continues
swatting away punches from Davis before time runs out.

Round 1
Herb Dean is the referee for tonight’s 145-pound championship main
event. Jung pushes forward with an uppercut which Aldo backpedals
away from. Aldo waits on the outside and pops Jung with a long
right hand to the face, then one to the body. It’s tense going in
the early stages of the bout, the featherweights standing a foot
apart with hands cocked. Aldo slaps low with a leg kick and backs
out to meet Jung in the center of the cage. The champ sticks a
combination in Jung’s face and lands a hard kick to the Zombie’s
right knee. Aldo gets in and out with a long right hand that leaves
Jung pawing at his eye. Aldo explodes into a double-leg, plows Jung
to the ground and immediately lets him up. Just after the 10-second
clapper, Aldo has a hard spinning kick blocked on Jung’s right side
and tries to rush the Korean against the fence as time runs
out.

Round 2

and ready, striking back with a pair of right-handed counters. The
challenger sends a good jab down the middle and takes a leg kick.
Aldo steps off with an uppercut-hook that catches Jung at an
awkward angle. A body-head combo from Aldo has slowed the Korean’s
march, and now the champion pumps jabs. Jung, meanwhile, is coming
up short on his punches, unable to close the distance. Aldo clips
Jung with a left, gets backed away by a punch from the challenger,
then comes right back to plow Jung to the mat in the center of the
cage with a minute left in the round. Aldo works from cross-side
control, leaning right to left and dropping short elbows on Jung’s
face. Jung puts the Brazilian back in his guard and boxes Aldo’s
ears with palm strikes.

Round 3
Jung gets Aldo on his back foot with pawing punches, then tries to
fly in with a knee and winds up being slammed down at the base of
the cage. Aldo straddles Jung’s right leg and presses the Korean
against the fence while Jung loops his right hand around Aldo’s
head with punches. Jung gets back to his feet with a wide base on
the fence, but Aldo drags him back to his knees. Ref Dean calls for
action as Aldo hugs Jung on the fence; after three more warnings,
Dean splits them up. Jung lunges in with a left hand that gets
Aldo’s attention. Aldo responds with an uppercut before going right
back to the same position, holding Jung on the fence. Still
defending the takedown, Jung tries to lock up a brabo choke, but
Aldo pops his head loose and keeps working for the double-leg. Dean
breaks them up with 15 seconds left and Jung rushes at Aldo with
another flying knee. This one lands, but Aldo nonetheless grabs his
challenger’s leg and whips him to the ground. Jung pops up and
leaves Aldo on his back at the end of the round.

Round 4
Jung is getting his jab pumping early in round four, even getting
Aldo to whiff on a counter hook. The challenger throws an overhand
right and gets his arm caught up in Aldo’s left-hook counter,
dislocating Jung’s right shoulder. Jung tries to pop the arm back
into place, but Aldo is all over him, taking the challenger to the
ground and pouring on punches. Referee Dean recognizes that Jung is
out of this and steps in to prevent any further damage. Jose Aldo
retains his UFC featherweight title with a TKO stoppage at 2:00 of
round four.
